Tuned Out

“Tuned Out,” a documentary-style sitcom produced in Roanoke, Virginia, was co-created by Christie Quackenbush, Bryan Hancock, and Blair Peyton. The series unfolds as a camera crew arrives to document the daily escapades of the staff at the small religious radio station, "Good God FM." Unbeknownst to them, the station has been acquired by the conglomerate Stratus Media. By the conclusion of the first episode, "Pop FM" emerges, compelling the unprepared staff to navigate this unfamiliar terrain.

The colorful characters that inhabit the world of “Tuned Out” have private lives so outrageous that even the most successful psychologist couldn’t help!
